Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cowfold: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH13 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath

If you are in Cowfold and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cowfold, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Cowfold

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
